Blood test may predict heart attack Patients' future risk
NCT ID NCT02117037
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether certain cells and substances in the blood can help predict if a person who has had a heart attack or unstable angina will have another heart problem within a year. Researchers took blood samples from 180 patients and tracked their health for one year. The goal was to see if these blood markers could give doctors a better way to identify high-risk patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a blood test that helps doctors predict future heart problems in patients who have had a heart attack.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at markers in the blood, and the results may not lead to a practical test or change how patients are treated.
